The Chosen One

Have to dedicate this post to my firstborn son...Sometimes he acts too cool for school as shown below (guess we should be grateful for the wave in this one:)
However, he was chosen again by his 2nd grade teacher as a Terrific Kid @ Zeiger Elementary & honored @ an assembly last Friday--It's a fun surprise to the recipients who don't find out until that morning even by well-meaning dad who wanted him to look sharp but allowed the casual tribute to our Seahawks to remain emblazoned on his shirt:) This month's honorees focused on R-E-S-P-E-C-T! His teacher, Mrs Dilworth, who has been a great choice for us, actually chose him & got to announce each child from her class-LtoR: Carson, Cole, Christian, Mackenzie and Sophia (coincidentally have been in same class since kindergarten). Let us not forget Payton (cutie patootie who is in same class, but sat further down the row:) Our neighbor Matthew was also member of this month's elite, but is behind her & on the opposite edge:















Mom cut it a little close as usual-who expects traffic from work @ noon even on Friday? But even his fans who made it early missed the typical red carpet tx this year?! We still took a pic of him walking out with his special hall pass to the reception they had before returning to schoolwork-So proud of him, plus it's been a great reminder for him to maintain that quality outside of classroom:) Whenever being respectful is in question, we just say "Hmmm, didn't you just get an award for that?" :) To Grandpa Gar, Grandma Neecy & Aunt Cait: Thanks for coming out to support Coley!! He gets a little bent out of shape lately with attention toward his brothers detracting from his one-on-one time, but they adore him! He has truly set the bar high for my Parker boys to follow & we love him so-oo much!!
